Problem 96: Chessboard

Time limit: 3s
A king wishes to go for a walk of a square chessboard with the following conditions:
• Each two consequent cells of the path must be adjacent, i.e., share an edge or a
corner (thus, a cell may have up to eight adjacent cells).
• Each cell must be visited exactly once; the first and the last cells of the path
must coincide (thus,the first cell of the path will be actually visited twice).
• The path must have no self intersections (we may think of a path as a closed
polyline with vertices at cells’ centers).
Your task is to find the maximal possible length of a king’s path (here we mean the
length of the polyline, not the number of king’s moves).

Input
The first line of the input contains the number of the test cases, which is at most 20. The
descriptions of the test cases follow. Each test case description consists of an integer
N (1 ≤ N ≤ 300), denoting the size of the chessboard. The test cases are separated by blank
lines.

Output
For each test case in the input, output a line containing the length of the king’s tour
with at least three digits after the decimal point. Print a blank line between test cases.
The cells have side 1.
